Abstract
Age gelation is undesirable for direct UHT (dUHT) milk, which is closely related to protein hydrolysis. However, little information is available for the role of serum peptides during the age gelation. In this study, the composition and protein morphology of serum phase were characterized by RP-HPLC, ICP-MS and TEM. The results showed significant increases in soluble proteins, free amino acids, calcium, and phosphorus from casein micelles, indicating protein hydrolysis and peptide release into the serum phase. 23,466 peptides derived from caseins and other proteins were identified in serum phase by peptidomics. The serum peptide profiles of age gelation milk changed dramatically. Peptide fingerprinting revealed that plasmin and cathepsin contributed to the protein hydrolysis during age gelation, with a significant increase in their activity observed. 23 characteristic peptides were ultimately selected as potential indicators for age gelation. These findings provide new insights into the age gelation of UHT milk.

Abstract
Biodiesel production processes, such as gravity settling, have limitations in terms of biodiesel yield, purification efficiency, operating time in the separation process, and more extensive equipment. Therefore, this study has focused on using a recently developed centrifuge machine for biodiesel separation to address these challenges due to its compact design, high efficiency, and simplicity. Additionally, this study aimed to optimize the separation efficiency of glycerol from biodiesel using a centrifuge machine, employing response surface methodology (RSM) with central composite design (CCD). The optimum conditions for separating glycerol from biodiesel via centrifuge machine are a rotation speed of 1800 rpm, a mixture flow rate of 192.25 ml/min, and a temperature of 55 °C, respectively. In optimum conditions, 94.52% separation efficiency was achieved. Biodiesel production can be improved, leading to higher yields and greater purity. The utilization of RSM proved valuable in determining the optimum conditions for separation. Furthermore, the machine successfully separated the biodiesel to meet ASTM D6751 and EN 14,214 standards. The results highlight the potential of the centrifuge machine for efficient and reliable biodiesel production, contributing to the advancement of the biodiesel industry.

Abstract
SCOPE Processing of whey protein concentrate (WPC) for infant formulas may induce protein modifications with severe consequences for preterm newborn development. The study investigates how conventional WPC and a gently processed skim milk-derived WPC (SPC) affect gut and immune development after birth. METHODS AND RESULTS Newborn, preterm pigs used as a model of preterm infants were fed formula containing WPC, SPC, extra heat-treated SPC (HT-SPC), or stored HT-SPC (HTS-SPC) for 5 days. SPC contained no protein aggregates and more native lactoferrin, and despite higher Maillard reaction product (MRP) formation, the clinical response and most gut and immune parameters are similar to WPC pigs. SPC feeding negatively impacts intestinal MRP accumulation, mucosa, and bacterial diversity. In contrast, circulating T-cells are decreased and oxidative stress- and inflammation-related genes are upregulated in WPC pigs. Protein aggregation and MRP formation increase in HTS-SPC, leading to reduced antibacterial activity, lactase/maltase ratio, circulating neutrophils, and cytotoxic T-cells besides increased gut MRP accumulation and expression of TNFAIP3. CONCLUSION The gently processed SPC has more native protein, but higher MRP levels than WPC, resulting in similar tolerability but subclinical adverse gut effects in preterm pigs. Additional heat treatment and storage further induce MRP formation, gut inflammation, and intestinal mucosal damage.

Abstract
SCOPE Ready-to-feed liquid infant formulas (IFs) are increasingly being used for newborn preterm infants when human milk is unavailable. However, sterilization of liquid IFs by ultra-high temperature (UHT) introduces Maillard reaction products (MRPs) that may negatively affect systemic immune and kidney development. METHODS AND RESULTS UHT-treated IF without and with prolonged storage (SUHT) are tested against pasteurized IF (PAST) in newborn preterm pigs as a model for preterm infants. After 5 days, blood leukocytes, markers of systemic immunity and inflammation, kidney structure and function are evaluated. No consistent differences between UHT and PAST pigs are observed. However, SUHT increases plasma TNFα and IL-6 and reduces neutrophils and in vitro response to LPS. In SUHT pigs, the immature kidneys show minor upregulation of gene expressions related to inflammation (RAGE, MPO, MMP9) and oxidative stress (CAT, GLO1), together with glomerular mesangial expansion and cell injury. The increased inflammatory status in SUHT pigs appears unrelated to systemic levels of MRPs. CONCLUSION SUHT feeding may impair systemic immunity and affect kidney development in preterm newborns. The systemic effects may be induced by local gut inflammatory effects of MRPs. Optimal processing and length of storage are critical for UHT-treated liquid IFs for preterm infants.

Abstract
The field of formulation and stabilization of protein therapeutics has become rather extensive. However, most of the focus has been on stabilization of the final drug product. Yet, proteins experience stress and degradation through the manufacturing process, starting with fermentaition. This review describes how formulation principles can be applied to stabilize biopharmaceutical proteins during bioprocessing and manufacturing, considering each unit operation involved in prepration of the drug substance. In addition, the impact of the container on stabilty is discussed as well.

Abstract
Human milk is considered the most valuable form of nutrition for infants for their growth, development and function. So far, there are still some cases where feeding human milk is not feasible. As a result, the market for infant formula is widely increasing, and formula feeding become an alternative or substitute for breastfeeding. The nutritional value of the formula can be improved by adding functional bioactive compounds like probiotics, prebiotics, human milk oligosaccharides, vitamins, minerals, taurine, inositol, osteopontin, lactoferrin, gangliosides, carnitine etc. For processing of infant formula, diverse thermal and non-thermal technologies have been employed. Infant formula can be either in powdered form, which requires reconstitution with water or in ready-to-feed liquid form, among which powder form is readily available, shelf-stable and vastly marketed. Infants' gut microbiota is a complex ecosystem and the nutrient composition of infant formula is recognized to have a lasting effect on it. Likewise, the gut microbiota establishment closely parallels with host immune development and growth. Therefore, it must be contemplated as an important factor for consideration while developing formulas. In this review, we have focused on the formulation and manufacturing of safe and nutritious infant formula equivalent to human milk or aligning with the infant's needs and its ultimate impact on infants' gut microbiota.

Abstract
SCOPE Ready-to-feed liquid infant formula is increasingly used for preterm infants when human milk is unavailable. These formulas are sterilized by ultra-high temperature treatment, but heating and storage may reduce bioactivity and increase formation of Maillard reaction products with potential negative consequences for immature newborns. METHODS AND RESULTS Using preterm pigs as a model for sensitive newborn infants, the study tests the intestinal responses of feeding experimental liquid formula within 5 days. A pasteurized formula (PAST) with the same nutrient composition but less protein modifications serves as control to ultra-high temperature-treated formula without (UHT) and with prolonged storage (SUHT). Relative to PAST, UHT contains lower levels of lactoferrin and IgG. Additional storage (40 °C, 60 days, SUHT) reduces antimicrobial capacity and increases non-reducible protein aggregates and Maillard reaction products (up to 13-fold). Pigs fed SUHT have more diarrhea and show signs of intestinal inflammation (necrotizing enterocolitis) compared with pigs fed PAST and UHT. These clinical effects are accompanied by accumulation of Maillard reaction products, protein cross-links, and inflammatory responses in the gut. CONCLUSION The results demonstrate that feeding UHT infant formulas, particularly after prolonged storage, adversely affects gut maturation and function in preterm pigs used as a model of preterm infants.

Abstract
The formation of Maillard reaction products, including Amadori compounds (determined as furosine), advanced glycation end products (AGEs), α-dicarbonyl and furfural compounds, as well as amino acid cross-links (lysinoalanine and lanthionine) was investigated in direct (DI) and indirect (IN) UHT-treated experimental liquid infant formula (IF) during storage at 40 °C. IN-IF had higher concentrations of all investigated compounds compared to DI-IF and low pasteurized IF. IN UHT treatment induced significantly higher concentrations of α-dicarbonyl compounds (glyoxal, methylglyoxal, 3-deoxyglucosone and 3-deoxygalactosone) compared to DI, which facilitated increased formation of AGEs (N-Ɛ-(carboxymethyl)lysine, methylglyoxal- and glyoxal-derived hydroimidazolones) in unstored IFs. During storage for 6 months, concentrations of furosine and AGEs increased while α-dicarbonyl compounds decreased. Principal component analysis indicated that differences between IN-IF and DI-IF disappeared after 2 months of storage. IN-IF had higher concentrations of lysinoalanine and lanthionine and lower concentrations of available lysine and arginine than DI-IF indicating higher loss of protein quality in IN-IF.

Abstract
Disulfides are important for maintaining the protein native structure, but they may undergo rearrangement in the presence of free Cys residues, especially under elevated temperatures. Disulfide rearrangement may result in protein aggregation, which is associated with in vivo pathologies in organisms and in vitro protein functionality in food systems. In a food context, it is therefore important to understand the process of disulfide rearrangement on a site-specific level in order to control aggregation. In the present study, a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based bottom-up site-specific proteomic approach was optimized to study disulfide rearrangements in beta-lactoglobulin (β-LG) under different heat treatments (60-90 °C). Artifactual disulfide rearrangement observed during sample preparation using a conventional protocol was detected and minimized by blocking the remaining free Cys residues with iodoacetamide in the presence of urea after heat treatment. Use of endoproteinase Glu-C for enzymatic hydrolysis allowed, for the first time, identification and comparison of the relative intensity of all theoretically possible β-LG disulfide cross-links formed by the heat treatments. Non-native disulfides were formed from heat treatment at approx. 70 °C where β-LG started to unfold, while higher levels of inter-molecular disulfide links were formed at ≥80 °C, in agreement with β-LG aggregation detected by size exclusion chromatography analysis. Collectively, the Cys residues of the surface-located native disulfide Cys66-Cys160 were proposed to be more reactive, participating in heat-induced disulfide rearrangement, compared to other Cys residues. The abundant signal of non-native disulfide bonds containing Cys66, especially Cys66-Cys66, observed after heating suggested that Cys66 is a key disulfide-linked Cys residue in β-LG participating in heat-induced inter-molecular disulfide bonds and the corresponding protein aggregation.

Abstract
The most widely used whey protein ingredient in an infant formula (IF) is the whey protein concentrate (WPC). The processing steps used in the manufacturing of both a powdered IF and a WPC introduce protein modifications that may decrease the nutritional quality. A gently processed whey protein ingredient (serum protein concentrate; SPC) was manufactured and used for the production of a powdered IF. The SPC and the SPC-based IF were compared to the WPC and the powdered WPC-based IF. Structural protein modifications were evaluated, and Maillard reaction products, covering furosine, α-dicarbonyls, furans, and advanced glycation end products, were quantified in the IFs and their protein ingredients. IF processing was responsible for higher levels of protein modifications compared to the levels observed in the SPC and WPC. Furosine levels and aggregation were most pronounced in the WPC, but the SPC contained a high level of methylglyoxal, revealing that other processing factors should be considered in addition to thermal processing.

Abstract
Ready-to-feed liquid infant formulas (IF) were subjected to direct (D) or indirect (ID) ultra-high-temperature (UHT) treatment and then stored at 40 °C under aseptic conditions for 60-120 days simulating global transportation which accelerates the Maillard reaction. Low pasteurized and unstored IF (LP) was included as a control for the UHT treatments. Simulated infant in vitro digestion was conducted. SDS-PAGE indicated that protein aggregate formation correlated with thermal treatment, being greatest after 60 days of storage. Limited protein digestion was observed after pepsin treatment for 2 h. Beta-lactoglobulin (β-Lg), alpha-lactalbumin (α-La) and protein aggregates remained undigested after 2 h of pepsin digestion in LP and D, but less β-Lg and α-La remained in ID. The digestion of β-Lg and α-La was enhanced in D and ID stored for 60 days, but aggregates remained undigested. After pepsin and pancreatin digestion, large amounts of β-Lg remained undigested in the LP, but digestion increased after UHT treatment (ID > D) and increased further after storage for 60 and 120 days, indicating that heat treatment and storage facilitate the digestion of unaggregated proteins. No aggregates remained after pancreatin digestion of LP, D, ID and D stored for 60 days, but were present in ID stored for 60 days. Aggregates were mainly disulphide-linked, but dityrosine linkages were detected in D and ID stored for 120 days. LC-MS/MS indicated limited proteolysis arising from endogenous milk proteases prior to in vitro digestion, being highest in D. Peptide numbers increased following pepsin and further during pancreatin digestion (β-casein > β-Lg > β-La), and released β-Lg peptides, typically 5-8 amino acids in length, contained several bioactivities, e.g., dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (DPP-IV) and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition.
